snip

The overall trend towards harsher
federal sentences is significant for
health care providers; since the
False Claims Act, Medicare and Medicaid
prosecutions all fall within the
federal jurisdiction. It is, furthermore,
a disturbing phenomenon for at least
two reasons. First, criminalizing
business activities is an ambiguous
process, since no bright light
separates criminal from noncriminal
conduct. Can a physician or surgeon
ever be certain that lease arrangements,
contractual provisions, or the
receipt of research grants cross
a line that will subject him or her to
federal indictment? Even federal
appellate courts have struggled to define
business activity that is criminal.
